Description
The intumescent fire-resistant air grille is designed to safeguard air transfer or ventilation penetrations in fire doors by providing a reliable fire protection solution. When exposed to high temperatures, the intumescent material within the grille expands, creating a physical seal that blocks airflow and effectively maintains the fire resistance integrity of the door.
These intumescent grilles are used across various building types due to their effectiveness in enhancing fire safety by providing a passive barrier, helping maintain compartmentation and ensuring regulatory compliance .These grilles are essential in applications where both fire protection and smoke control are critical, such as:
- Server Rooms: Protects valuable equipment by preventing fire and smoke from spreading through ventilation systems, helping to safeguard IT infrastructure and reduce risk.
- Electrical Control Rooms: Ensures fire containment around crucial electrical systems, preventing fire from spreading through HVAC pathways.
- Data Centres: Limits fire and smoke spread in high-density equipment environments, helping to protect sensitive hardware.
- Healthcare Facilities: Maintains smoke and fire containment in corridors and patient areas, critical for safe evacuation and patient safety.
- Residential Buildings: Installed in multi-unit buildings to protect occupants by containing fire within specific units or areas, preventing smoke infiltration.
